In Aug of 2017 I hired LUXE for my event the in July 2018. Below are a few of the issues * Ben said he had other events at this venue, so he would take care of the bartending, no issues. 3 days before the event he told me he couldn't get the license for the event to bartend. He thought he could get by without having the proper ABC license at a city community center? Really? We had to scramble and purchase the alcohol ourselves and then hire a separate bartender. The plan was to have a closed bar. So this caused a lot of issues and additions cost. *Ben was paid an extra fee for "special linens" for the cake,m gift and coffee tables. These were supposed to be above and beyond standard to make it look really nice. What I got instead was cheap white polyester linens. *Ben was also paid extra for a backdrop for the cake and main court table. He didn't supply the backdrop for the cake table at all, and the one he used for the main table looked awful. Bars and other items laying in the back showed up in all of our pictures, ruining them! * After going thru the venue details, Ben said he only needed an hour to prep everything before the start of the event. He then stated if he could get an extra 15 minutes it would help him out. So I paid for an extra 30 minutes to the hall. My event started at 5pm. Now after 6pm he still wasn't done setting up. It took him 2.5 hours to finish setting up. Family and friends starting helping putting linens, center pieces, and plates on the tables to help out. This was quite embarrassing. * After the event was over we had a few hours to get the facility cleaned up. If it was not done in time, I would lose my deposit. Of course this was no skin off of his back. I had to stay and have family and friends assist with the clean up otherwise this company never would have been done in time and I would be out even more money. * Some of my guest also commented that while he was setting up he was helping himself to alcohol! Very unprofessional. * When I spoke to Ben about these issues and let him know I felt I was entitled to some sort of a refund for all of these issues, as others have mentioned her became very defensive and refused and said sue me. He told me I was very ungrateful and was down right rude. He is definitely very unorganized and very unprofessional. Do not risk your precious event and day with this company, you will definitely regret it.

Katelyn, the owner, was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was quick to respond, easy to work with, very affordable, and so talented. She personally decorated the space for us, and everything turned out beautiful. Katelyn truly helped bring our vision to life and made the entire process feel stress-free. On such an important day, it meant so much to have someone so reliable, available, and genuinely helpful. We are so grateful for Katelyn and Lux Studios. Our wedding reception was unforgettable, and we could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Lux Studios to anyone looking for a beautiful event space and someone who truly cares about making your day special!

She is everything and more you expect from a hostess. She is attentive, kind and helpful. She has multiple furniture pieces you can switch out based on your vibe. Lux studio is such a hidden gem. Truly a stunning indoor architecture and it was honestly perfect size and budget for our event. She is also well connected with other vendors and made renting tables and chairs a breeze. Overall super pleased and I recommend this location to other friends all the time. Katelyn made it feel like I was hosting at a family member's house she did not hesitate to help set up which I am so so grateful for.

The space itself is a great size and has a lot of potential, but I was disappointed with how my…read moreevent was handled. There was an event before mine, and I felt like I had to constantly follow up with calls and emails just to get basic details confirmed. My event was scheduled to start at 6 PM, and even though I was told they might need an extra 15-20 minutes for setup, they were still setting up an hour and a half into my event time. Some tables didn't even have tablecloths on them when I arrived. I had offered to come early to help set up but was told it wasn't necessary. On top of that, a few small maintenance issues, like a paper towel rack falling off the wall, added to the frustration. Also, be aware that if you book a 6-hour slot, you may only get 5 hours of actual event time because they take about an hour to set up which isn't clearly explained upfront. My son still had a great time, and for that I'm thankful but overall, I left feeling a bit frustrated. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve the experience for future guests.

Their preferred vendors were also awesome - shoutout to It's Graze-y and Wisteria Grove! The final decor was absolutely stunning, and the event turned out better than I could have imagined. Susan and Kaylee even set up an arts and crafts table for the children present to help keep them occupied! It was such an unexpected surprise and really touched my heart.

I asked the guy setting them up why they were being so hospitable, to which he said he just thought we were nice people! All in all I appreciate the venue and the people in charge of it for their genuine help in making our experience as comfortable and enjoyable it could be!

The communication with him and his team was consistently clear from the start. It was essentially a one-stop shop for me, as Frank connected me with Rene, who handled event coordination, and also introduced me to the food vendor, DJ, Photobooth and cake decorator. There were more selections of different vendors to choose from, if I needed them as well. We were thoroughly pleased with the overall result. The venue was stunningly decorated, and the food was exceptionally delicious, which we did receive many compliments from our guests. The cake was also beautifully decorated and tasted wonderful. We appreciated the opportunity to schedule food and cake tastings beforehand, which helped make our decision. The DJ performed well overall, although he didn't play many of our selected songs. However, we could request changes on the spot if we didn't like a particular track, which kept our guests dancing throughout the night. I strongly recommend this venue for your next large event. It is staffed by a professional team that is both efficient and eager to assist with every detail of your special day.

Literally a hidden gem. I have lived near this venue for a decade and didn't know it was here! My…read moresister found it when we were desperate to find a location for a Celebration of Life service for my son. Hidden Oaks was perfect! We had a short time frame, a tight budgets (his death was a surprise, which makes for a surprise budget as well), and a whole lot of unknowns -- like how many guests there would be. That's rough event planning. Sheryl and our coordinator Lyndsay were incredibly flexible, kind, and understanding. I will always be grateful to them for this. We paid for the additional assistance of two staffers -- Helping Hands, for $20 per hour. Well-worth it, and they were lovely. Highly recommend. Lyndsay was an absolute SAINT putting up with all our question marks on this day. She was calm, professional, and had everything under control. Since I was crying half the time, I was very thankful for her presence. Our guests were blown away with how beautiful the venue was. Most guests were local and they were as surprised as we were! So here's what you need to know about this venue: --it is gorgeous, shady, clean and just lovely. Perfect for a smallish event of about 100-200, IMO. --it is disabled accessible, although it is a historical property. --you cannot hear the freeway at all once you are inside the venue --pricing is VERY reasonable and you won't have a catering minimum. --it has Padua Hills vibes, but the catering minimum there is $10K and you have to use their caterer -- no thank you. --big money saver: they have tables, chairs, umbrellas, and they set up of all that. You only need to rent linens. --There is a kitchen, but it is not really for cooking. More for staging and refilling. It has a commercial fridge and a freezer, so we kept ice and extra cheese and desserts to refill. The caterers used it, but we didn't cook there. --it has both indoor and outdoor spaces, which makes it great for rain plans. --there is no alcohol, no smoking of any kind, and music needs to be the Disney version. It is owned by a Christian church, so values need to align there. They mean these things. Respect this. For us, this was no problem, since we needed a sober venue for the respect of some of our guests. We simply printed a disclaimer on our invitations. --you probably need extra signage at the entrance because it is easy to miss. You need to allow time for people to get in if you have a lot of guests. --Cheryl was organized -- we had a pre-meeting where she gave us a tour and a folder of all the details (table sizes, rules, helpful vendor contacts, etc) In our case, we welcomed guests on the north side of the building, had an espresso bar on the west patio, then directed guests to the back yard where the gazebo is. We held the "ceremony" part of the event by the gazebo, but we didn't really decorate at all (we didn't want it to feel like a wedding). Then we invited guests into the house and to the north side of the property, where one would normally have a reception for snacks and socializing. There are lots of little rooms and places where groups of guests can socialize within the house. For us, that worked because groups of my son's friends could reminisce together in their own social groups. We had no real need for flowers, because the facility was beautiful by itself. I hope this venue helps!

She did it all with a smile. I wish I got a picture of her. The hotel has a very clean workout room. We got a room with a full kitchen. It even had a dishwasher. Where things fell short were the other guests. They would attend daily breakfast unshowered and smelled bad. The service staff over all were pretty rude my entire week. I did not care for that. There was one older lady in the dining hall who was sweet however. I left notes for my housekeeper. She did make the beds neatly, however she took apart my shower and left it like that one time. Another she threw a soaking wet towel I used to step on in the shower to prevent athletes foot in the corner of the shower. I started ringing out the water after that and hanging it up. I still left her a tip and a gift. Also my last 3 days someone occupied next door and it stunk to high hell of curry. I had to clog my sink drains with the stoppers and put a towel under my front door. So the walls are thin. The pool was merky so my boys only swam once. Also homeless would sneak in and do laundry and be in the lobby drinking beer. One was escorted out by police one day. Parking was safe. Another girl who was at the front desk during the day always greeted us with a smile too but I did not catch her name. Overall the location couldn't be matched I was one Main Street over from my apt.
